Yingluck bursts into tears again in Khon Kaen province

[webfact]

Caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra bursts in tears again in Khon Kaen province when reporters asked her why the anti-government protesters have so much hatred towards the Shinawatra family members.

Replying in shaky and trembling voice and in tearful eyes, Ms Yingluck said “such question should asked with the question poster. I don’t want to answer it.

I believe the Thai society and all Thais will make their consideration if the if the Shinawatra family is that bad. Stop talking about it. Don’ they want all Thais to stay together.

Do they mean to have all Shinawatra family members leave the country for good. It is such question that should be asked.

They were peeling onions nearby ?

[dcutman]

I honestly believe if all Shins and their cronies all disappeared from Thailand the country could actually be repaired. As long as they are here this hatred will continue forever.

[northernjohn]

As I understand her answer it is all Thais will stick together if they do what the Shinawatra clan tells them to do. No questions asked.

I suppose it is better than the give me six month's.

[Artisi]

Oh dear Oh dear.

And yes, most Thai's want all Thais to stay together, but it would help if the Shinawatra's were well out of the scene, preferably out of the country on a permanent basis.

[HeavyDrinker]

All she needs is a nice big cuddle from me....

Thailands PM cries more than my 3 year old toddler.

At least she helps the draught problem.

Then your ignorant, very ignorant, the n/s divide has nothing to do with the shinawatra's, take a look at the history and how this country came together as one, then the insurgency duing the indo-china wars.. this conflict is about the traditional elites in bangkok and their followers angry that they had lost power due to democracy.

also in a situation like this I prefer a PM that shows some empathy and sprays tears instead of bullets everytime she get upset.

I think this is correct, the Shins just took the genie out of the bottle, and if they were to disappear people in the N and NE would still feel the same about the Bkk elite that ignored and sidelined them for so long.

I guess thats your opinion. I will say the same for your ignorance.

Have a nice day

I do not think that that sort of questioning is reasonable, the Shinawatra family are an established good family and I have no argument with any of them and I do not wish to see them kicked out of Thailand, the current caretaker P.M. Yingluck is way in over her head, taken for granted by not only her ministers but also her brother and should never have consented to such a stupid idea,, Yingluck' duty is to herself and her family first , to do the dirty work for her brother was a big mistake , Yingluck must make a call , if the present circumstances are not to her liking she must decide, her brother or Thailand, she can never have both, Thaskin has not only screwed Thailand big time he has done other damage as well within the family unit.

[h90]

Well on the stage they explain very well, day for day why they hate the Shinawatras......Stealing and murdering doesn't make you popular....

And almost all of the Shinawatra family are deep, very deep into corruption. (Maybe excluding Yinglucks son).

[Blackmirage2013]

Why do the antigovernment protesters have so much hatred toward the Shinawatras?????

She does not know??!!!

Damn, she is more lost than Malaysia Airlines Flight 370!!!!!!

Traditional elites against the new elites, you would seem to mean? With the normal people just simple pawns?

Note that the Shinawatras are some of the Amply Rich.

Anyway, the topic is a Ms. Yingluck crying again because some nasty questions were being asked. Next we'll have an in-depth story on how that compares favorably with other world leaders

Totally agree. The people in North and NorthEast would rather be controlled by their local elite landlords and other rich folks than by those imported from Bangkok.

A leader must be strong during the big flood she cried which a big impact for the nation during crisis time, it's not PM is a superhuman but at least know how to lead this country to have a good leadership, it's not Shin family good or bad but we cannot clap with one hand cannot blame others and try to push away reponsiblility . In deep heart of the Thai people will know who is the real winner and loser, so no need to talk too much to defend yourself.

Yingluck has no choice.

Yingluck is worth around 500 mln THB (according to declared statements). This has given her a very comfortable (financially) life. I am fairly sure that her brother has provided her with this money (earned through corruption) therfor I don't feel at all sorry for Yingluck.

[pkspeaker]

Yes I think so, the dems being 'old' money elites including a number of billionairs on the dem side (and that side being able to raise superior funds for rallies, political campaings etc.

against the phuathai led by the shinsbils and Yingluck, the other 20or so parties are in the middle but tacitly on the PT side since they donot boycott. both sides have poor supporters,not just PT.

It's called "Local Strongman Syndrome" They will get over it eventually. Education in democracy is a gradual process.

[Yunla]

Those of us who always believed that she never wanted the PM job and was just doing it out of a sense of duty to her domineering and quite probably hallucinating brother, have been conducting informal sweepstakes for a year or two about when she would break down completely, and if she would go the whole hog with the running through streets naked etc. Quite honestly I have always felt that she took the job just to make Thaksin shut up. I have listened to Thaksin's pitiful martyrdom complex for years and I personally couldn't listen to any more of his "poor little me" gibberish. And if I feel that way after never even meeting the guy, imagine how Yingluck must feel after listening to these relentless sob-stories 24/7.

The way she has actually avoided being PM, while being PM, has been fairly artful but still clearly obvious to those of us making sweepstakes on her. She avoids Parliament except during solar eclipses, practically, and avoids interviews and debates like they carry bubonic plague. The obvious point is that you can't do a job properly if you didn't want to do it in the first place, or if you spend your work-time avoiding the job whenever possible. And being PM is a stressful job, lives depend on your decisions. It is not a job to be shoehorned into, especially when you may well lack worldly wisdom or be emotionally fragile to begin with.

[djjamie]

In my opinion I feel yingluck has a debilitating mental illness, but I will get onto that later. This reaction by her shows why her interviews have to be in a controlled setting, with prescreened questions and scripted responses. Under those circumstances she is able to portray a leader in control, a leader that has a strong grasp of what is going on, a leader that is holding the country together. This is what the PTP want the population and the world to see. The perception that she in in control, the perception that she is strong, the perception that she has the quintessential traits of a good leader are imperative to ensure the PTP have put her in the role because of her leadership and not because of her last name.

The reality however could not be further from the truth. When a leader shows no leadership ability, no confidence and is unable to keep her emotions in check then this is a stark wake up call of a women out of her depth and reflects the ineptness of the PTP and its encouragement of nepotism and cronyism over abilities and skills in rewarding government positions to PTP ministers. (13th century water king and behead me promises)

These are not crocodile tears. It is of my opinion that she has a mental disorder called emotional dysregulation. It refers to the inability of someone to be able to control or regulate their emotional responses to provocative stimuli. When a criticism, an emotionally charged question or a perceived abandonment (her acceptance that the majority want her to step down) is presented to a person with emotional dysregulation they react in an emotionally exaggerated manner to these environmental and interpersonal challenges by overreacting: one of which is crying.

Firstly, I am sure it is appreciated by many in Thailand that through these tears she has accepted that the majority no longer care for this inept puppet, but secondly and most importantly I feel it shows that she has a serious mental illness that needs immediate attention. For instance a sane person does not look at tomatoes in the north the day after a terrorist attack though condemning it on FB. A sane person does not look at the water level in a river and then tell people to do their job efficiently while the country is on the brink of civil war.

I pity the poor women now. She has lost her majority, she is forced to push through unconstitutional bills that her big brother made her push. She has chaired a failed rice scheme and through her lack of attendance to the meetings shows that she really does not understand what to do, how to act or what the position entails I hope she is able to get professional help and can find a job that is more suited to her skill set.

I will help you yingluck. I need a new house maid? Can ya handle that without crying?

Then your ignorant, very ignorant, the n/s divide has nothing to do with the shinawatra's

Are you serious? That has to be in the running for either the most ignorant or the most disingenuous statement anyone has ever posted on Thai Visa.

Nothing to do with Thaksin? You mean you seriously think all those people who came out to protest about the grotesque amnesty bill and currently support the PDRC are doing it because they hate the North/Issan people and love Suthep?

No. Sorry. The Thaksin lovers on this site wish the divide in this country wasn't about Thaksin. Yes, there was injustice before Thaksin, but the demagogue in Dubai is the one who latched onto this and tore the country apart. The simple truth is if Thaksin would simply vanish the rift would heal itself. Nobody out protesting wants to disadvantage the poor in the North(east). What they want is not to be mistreated and robbed by a tyrant who believes himself to be above the law.

Everything in this is about Thaksin. Everything. Thaksin goes, peace returns. Yes there will need to be cleanup and reform and some long overdue decentralization, but Thaksin is the non negotiable element. When he goes, peace is possible. Not before.

It is time the Thaksin lovers admitted that and stopped spreading misinformation.
